Corrections

* A photograph on the front of Monday's front page and Sports section incorrectly identified the man in the picture as Terry Labonte, winner of Sunday's NASCAR race in Richmond. The photograph was of an unidentified member of Labonte's crew.

* A typing error distorted the meaning of a sentence in a letter to the editor, "School meals imperiled," from Gene Younger, on Monday's editorial page. The sentence as printed read, "This and similar provisions of the Balanced Budget Amendment are what have 50 state governors wringing their hands and getting their teeth." It should have said "gritting their teeth."

* Monday's editorial, "Habitual offenders," incorrectly stated that habitual offenders who are caught operating a motor vehicle with a suspended driver's license must serve a minimum of one year in jail. That is true only for habitual offenders convicted of a felony. A misdemeanor conviction is possible if "such driving does not, of itself, endanger the life, limb or property of another." Punishment for a misdemeanor cannot exceed 90 days in jail and/or a fine of $2,500.

* An article on the front page of Sunday's paper stated incorrectly that the base closing commission would use a four-value Army report in evaluating the Pentagon's recommendations on which bases to close. The commission will use a four-volume report.

* A story in Saturday's Local Section incorrectly said neighbors had used wide-angle lenses to get pictures of a cat stuck in a tree. They used a telephoto lens for a close-up of the cat.

* A photo caption on Monday's Local front misspelled the name of Tara Garner, whose husband, James Garner, died in a James City County fire a year ago. Also, Garner died a year ago last week, not a year ago Monday.

* An article in Monday's Sports section incorrectly reported that Purdue lost to Michigan State on Sunday in college basketball. Michigan State beat Indiana. Purdue and Michigan State are tied for the Big Ten lead.
